Amenida Residences
"Overall, it was a pleasant stay. Minor inconveniences in the room. One bedside lamp was plugged into an extension cord under the bed that was not tucked away and difficult to access so we could turn it on. Due to weather/heat, portable ac unit took up much of the floor space. No Kleenex in the room. ..."
